Measurement of Epicardial Fat Thickness by Echocardiography Presents Challenges

Mustafa Gulgun et al. Fatih Alparslan Genç

To the Editor,

It was with great interest that we read the paper by Kaplan et al. entitled ”Evaluation of Electrocardiographic T-peak to T-end Interval in Subjects with Increased Epicardial Fat Tissue Thickness” published on Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia in December 2015. They aimed to investigate the relationship between epicardial adipose tissue (EFT) and ventricular repolarization. They demonstrated some ventricular repolarization abnormalities on electrocardiography in patients with higher EFT thickness. We would like to thank Kaplan et al. for their great effort in this study, and share some of our thoughts.
